Helensville Lions Autumn Book Fair 2021 is on !
AUTUMN BOOK FAIR
29th/30th May 2021
Helensville War Memorial Hall
“The Biggest Book Fair in the West!”
The Lions Club of Helensville is holding their Autumn Book Fair on the last weekend of May in the Helensville War Memorial Hall. Starting at 9.00am on Saturday until 4.00pm and 10.00am on Sunday until 3.00pm.The Book Fair is being held in conjunction with the Kaipara Coastguard and all proceeds from the weekend will go towards funding for their proposed new Marine Rescue Centre at Springs Road, Parakai. The Christmas Book Fair, held in November, raised $13,245 and we aim to beat this for Coastguard Kaipara who perform voluntarily an essential service on our harbour, keeping boaties safe.
Books are priced to sell with nothing over $2, with a good selection of children’s books at 50c. Plus, there is also a good selection of jigsaw puzzles, board games, DVDs, CDs and quality magazines available.
Non-Fiction will be split into twenty separate categories, including one dedicated to New Zealand subjects and a large General Non-Fiction section to browse through.
Fiction is arranged alphabetically by authors, with six special interest groups, the largest of which is the Fantasy/Science Fiction section. There is also a tremendous number of children’s books for all ages.
Small donations of books can be left at Burmester Realty, Helensville or for larger lots, call Chris on 09 420 8527, or any other member of Helensville Lions.
Please note that the last date we are accepting books for this Book Fair is Friday 21st May.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
